WHEN WILL WE RETURN TO OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE? 

We are continuing to watch the number of new cases closely and will let you know when we are able to safely resume in-person worship services.  Our weekly online services will continue.

SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY

It’s that time of the year! –SOUPER BOWL!  Souper Bowl is the way the Synod and FLC playfully use Super Bowl LV on February 7, 2021 to engage our giving for Lutheran Social Services (LSS).  You can participate by giving money or donating cans of soup [or other non-parishable items(s)].  You can donate money through GivingPlus+ on your app or the FLC webpage, or a personal check made payable to Fellowship Lutheran Church (memo: Souper Bowl).  On GivePlus+ you can indicate your support for the team representing the NFC or AFC by selecting odd for the NFC or even for the AFC.  You can note NFC, AFC, or the team name on your check. You can send a check addressed to FLC, or bring donated items to FLC and place them in the containers located in the Narthex during church business hours. So….WHO do you think is the best contender to win Super Bowl LV?

GIVE TO FELLOWSHIP WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE WITH GIVEPLUS+ 

Our EFT provider, Vanco, provides a smartphone app, Give+, to enable anyone to donate at anytime to Fellowship. It makes it easy to give instantaneously for a regular gift, a recurring gift, or a special occasion gift.  Thank you for your faithful stewardship!

BLESSING BOX

We now have a blessing box on our property, thanks to HelpColumbus, a group that supports individuals and families recently impacted by the events of COVID-19.  A blessing box houses non-perishable items like food, baby supplies, etc.  If you or someone you know are in need of these items, feel free to stop by the church.  You may also place donations in the blessing box.

HOLY COMMUNION

We celebrate communion during our worship services on the first and third Sundays of the month.  If you have not picked up your communion sets yet, please let Pastor Robin or Tracy know so we can make other arrangements or they can be brought to your home (rwargowsky@gmail.com or 937-725-4930).
